Re: 9K33 OSA / SA-8 Gecko Trumpeter 1/35

Thanks for the comments. I managed to add some light weathering. No rust, the beast is amphibious, just some dust on the lower part of the hull. I also made some streaking with water pencils. https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/11/06/57/10/img_1811.jpg https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/11/06/57/10/img_1812.jp...

Re: Tamiya T-62

You put some love in it. :D
The result is great. However I would try to delete the pin ejector marks on the right side of the body.

Re: 9K33 OSA / SA-8 Gecko Trumpeter 1/35

Thank you Bryan. I've started the painting step. The base color is Princ August German green WWII also referenced as FS34079. The shade is then enlighted with some flesh. The radar antennas are painted with a mix of XF-64 and yellow sand. https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/11/06/57/10/img_1807.jpg https:...

Re: 9K33 OSA / SA-8 Gecko Trumpeter 1/35

I finally fixed the issue with the missiles containers. I also replaced the PE headlights guards by home made ones with 0.3 mm styrene rods. The PE parts were too large. The launch module is not attached yet. Trumpeter has designed a different system to secure the module which makes it impossible to...

Re: 9K33 OSA / SA-8 Gecko Trumpeter 1/35

Thank you Vincent. The hull measures up to 27 cm long. Today I had a very bad surprise. I test fitted the missiles supports to the launch module and there are not well aligned at all. They should be parallel to the axis of the module. I don't understand where I goofed. https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/...

Re: 9K33 OSA / SA-8 Gecko Trumpeter 1/35

The building of the various antennas is close to the end. The main antenna assembly is over. Trumpeter gives you two options: travel or search mode. I chose the search mode. I advise not to glue the antenna to its both "axis". It allow the antenna to be mobile until you definitely glue it with the t...

Re: 9K33 OSA / SA-8 Gecko Trumpeter 1/35

Today I started the sub-assemblies of the launch module. I first assembled the missiles containers supports. Be aware that Trumpeter omitted to mold alignment pegs on one of the major part. Consequently when I dry fitted the first support to the module the containers were angled. I think I've found ...

Re: 9K33 OSA / SA-8 Gecko Trumpeter 1/35

Thank you Adam. The box is closed. Not much to see through the front openings so I'll let the roof hatch open when the hull is painted. https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/11/06/57/10/img_1775.jpg https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/11/06/57/10/img_1776.jpg https://i83.servimg.com/u/f83/11/06/57/10/img_1774.jpg...

Re: 9K33 OSA / SA-8 Gecko Trumpeter 1/35

Thank you all.
Today I managed to apply the decals onto the dashboard. However I first cut the large decals into small pieces I could insert between the numerous handles molded solid by Trumpeter.
The result is quite convincing.
